The race for the 2027 World Test Championship final at The Oval is heating up, and the ICC WTC points table 2025 to 2027 is being reshuffled after almost every Test match right now. Because teams have played very different numbers of games, the table is ranked by Percentage of Points won (PCT), not raw points so a side low on points can still sit above a side with more points on the board.
Here is the live WTC points table 2025 to 2027, updated automatically every time this page loads.

How the WTC points system works
Every Test match in the 2025-2027 cycle carries the same weight regardless of format or venue:
- Win: 12 points
- Tie: 6 points
- Draw: 4 points
- Loss: 0 points
A team’s rank is decided by PCT the percentage of the total points it could have won that it actually won. That is why Australia and South Africa currently occupy the top two spots on the WTC points table 2025 to 2027: both have lost only once in their cycle so far, even though other teams have played more matches overall.
Where things stand right now
Australia’s 8-2 record gives them an 80.00% PCT and the clear early lead, with South Africa close behind on 75.00% from a shorter four-match run. New Zealand (72.22%) and Bangladesh (55.56%) round out the top four, while defending-cycle contenders India sit in the middle of the pack at 53.33% after a mixed run that included the recent home series covered in our India vs Sri Lanka Test series report, a series that also produced Sonal Dinusha’s back-to-back Test centuries.
At the other end, England’s PCT has been dented further by ICC over-rate penalties on top of a tough run of results, while Pakistan and West Indies are still searching for the kind of consistency that pushed India up the table during the previous WTC cycle.
Only two spots in the 2027 final
Just like the last two cycles, only the top two teams on the WTC points table 2025 to 2027 at the end of the league phase will qualify for the World Test Championship Final, scheduled for June 2027 at Lord’s or The Oval. With more than a year of fixtures still to be played in the same period fans have also been tracking shorter-format fixtures like the India vs Afghanistan T20I series the table above is expected to change shape several more times before the finalists are confirmed.
How this table stays up to date
Rather than a table that is updated once and then goes stale, this page pulls the current standings fresh on every visit and rebuilds the table you see above from that live data, falling back to a manually verified snapshot only if the live source cannot be reached for that particular page load.
FAQ
How often is the WTC points table 2025 to 2027 updated?
This page re-fetches the standings on every page load, so the table reflects the most recently completed match results as soon as they are available from the source.
Why is PCT used instead of total points?
Because not every team plays the same number of Test matches in a cycle, ranking by total points would unfairly favour teams with a packed schedule. PCT normalises for that by measuring the share of available points each team has actually won.
How many teams qualify for the WTC final?
Only the top two teams on the table at the end of the league phase reach the final, currently scheduled for June 2027.
